Sorry, Sarah, but you are now, officially and on the record, a moral degenerate. And you know it.

CBC World Report manufacturing consent for the Alberta separatists/statehood this morning.

CBC News is not news. CBC News is not Canadian. (It is indeed a broadcast corporation.)

Walking around suburbs like storm troopers and getting rightfully SCREAMED at by livid residents is a level of pathetic they will never be able to shake off. And I’m so glad about that!

‘“Illegal” alien’ is not even a legal term. Only acts are illegal, not people.

The ‘reporter’ is misinformed or spreading disinformation.

I fucking hate Nazis, which includes hating their actions, philosophy, culture, regalia, and fucking stylistic choices.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect anyone I vote for to feel the same.

It takes the typical worker at most big companies 175 years to earn the annual salary of their CEO but only 174 years by working weekends and holidays.

Could you imagine the NYT writeup of this? "Trump says museums focus too much on how bad slavery was. Some experts say he might be onto something."
andrewjweinstein.com Andrew Weinstein @andrewjweinstein.com · 22h
The president himself has complained that our museums focus too much on 'how bad slavery was.'" This isn't just an off-the-cuff remark; it's the ideological core of Donald Trump’s campaign to rewrite our history. My piece in TIME explores the chilling implications.
Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History
"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

We can do this now without even chasing anyone out

Simply pick up the store phone and announce "Attention, shoppers. MrBeast just bought this Kroger and everything is free" and the managers and security will be tossing hams in their Land Rovers before you even hang up

Starting in Milan, in 73, revolutionary groups would mass up, go into supermarkets and chase out the bosses/security, get on the loudspeaker and declare everything free. They would then make revolutionary speeches while shoppers gleefully enjoyed the discount. They called this "proletariat shopping"

If he wants to beat the Daffy Duck allegations, Poilievre would be well advised to avoid calling anyone "despicable."
With his ‘despicable’ RCMP rant, Pierre Poilievre is cementing his Daffy Duck status
The next test of the Bugs-Daffy dichotomy in Canada will be whether Carney can outwit Poilievre to pass his budget and remain in power. Heading up a minority government, he’ll need every tool at his d...

Reporters are obsessed with asking Trump “why did you do this” instead of factual questions like “what’s the name of the person you pardoned”

COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?

TRUMP: Which one was that?

COLLINS: The founder of Binance

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.
